If you have a Saw-Z-All I would cut it out before dumping. The intake in the condition it is in is worth about $100.

If you were to send some time and clean it up real nice and smooth out all the crap you could get up to $175 and if it was machined for a shoe & rideplate it would be worth up to $250.

Jim's prices are pretty close. I have one also. If you end up in having to ditch the hull and you decide you want to cut it out, cut 4 or 5 inches away from the intake, that way you'll have something to hit with a sledge hammer and it won't break up too bad while being hit. I read on a post where I think Jet Boat Performance used a jack on the intake while the boat was tied down to the trailer, but I could be wrong.

The jack trick works, but you have to have a way to hold the boat down & the trailer too. The way I did it was I ran some 4X6 across my stringers, then wedged a 2x6 between the truss in my garage and the 4x6 in the boat. Then I hit the intake with some light pressure from the jack. You dont want to tweak the bottom of the boat. LEave it for a few minutes, come back and give it another pump. Repeat the process until it pops. Mine came out leaving just the epoxy on the intake.
